What happens when we lose touch with what we want, what we value, and what brings us pleasure?

Our desires and values are deeply connected to our sense of self, and when we continually put them aside, we can begin to lose something of ourselves along the way.

As women, there can be a cultural expectation that as we grow older, we become less concerned with our own desires and more focused on the needs of others. Rather than blossoming, we can find ourselves shrinking.

In this episode of Curious by Nature, we're drawing on the symbolism of Venus retrograde and the wisdom of autumn to explore our relationship with desire, pleasure, and self-worth, and how reconnecting with what matters to us can help us make more conscious choices about what we hold on to and what we're ready to let go of.
